About This Home
942 Putnam Avenue is a fully reimagined Renaissance Revival brownstone on a gorgeous tree-lined block in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights, blending modern design with warm, livable style.
The 45-foot parlor floor stretches from a gracious living and dining area with a decorative fireplace straight into a kitchen that anchors the entire home. Wrapped in custom ashy walnut cabinetry and elegant Calacatta marble, the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, with Thermador double wall ovens, an integrated dishwasher, and full-height separate Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and freezer framing a perfect wet bar. A discreet pantry adds storage and utility, while oversized sliding glass doors extend the space onto a South-facing deck overlooking the backyard. Even the powder room makes a statement with bold wallpaper.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with large windows, abundant closet space, and a spa-like windowed marble bath with double vanity and step-in shower, while two additional bedrooms, another marble bathroom, plus laundry and linen closets complete the floor.
The garden level features a sweet two-bedroom apartment, perfect for guests, rental income, or flexible use. With five bedrooms, four and a half baths, outdoor spaces on multiple levels, and a location near neighborhood favorites like Chez Alex, Natural Blend, Flow Pilates, PO Reinaldo Salgado Playground and more, this townhouse is stylish, functional, and move-in ready.
